Comprehensive analysis of Lazada’s shipping and logistics methods
As one of the largest e-commerce platforms in Southeast Asia, Lazada provides sellers with a variety of logistics methods to meet different needs. Whether it is official logistics, third-party logistics, or self-operated stores, each logistics method has its unique advantages and disadvantages. This article will introduce in detail the logistics methods available for Lazada shipments to help sellers make more appropriate choices.
1. Official logistics
Lazada has its own official logistics team in the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore and other places. Sellers only need to place an order through the Lazada website or mobile app and pay the shipping fee, and the official logistics team will be responsible for packaging, collection, delivery and tracking of the order. This method is very convenient for buyers as they can easily check the order status on the platform. However, the high cost of official logistics may put some pressure on sellers, and in some cases delays may occur due to geographical differences or large logistics volumes.
2. Third-party logistics
In addition to official logistics, sellers can also choose to cooperate with third-party logistics companies. Third-party logistics provides one-stop services from packaging to transportation. Sellers need to negotiate specific details with the logistics company, such as packaging, collection, delivery, tracking and customer service. Although this method is more flexible, it requires sellers to invest more energy in management, and if problems arise, sellers need to solve them themselves.
3. Self-operated stores
Some sellers choose to set up self-operated stores locally. Utilizing the store’s inventory and delivery services can speed up delivery times and provide faster services. This method allows sellers to monitor and manage inventory and delivery processes in real time to ensure accurate delivery of orders. But for smaller sellers, high costs and complex management can be a challenge.
4. LBC Express
In the Philippines, Lazada recommends LBC Express as its logistics partner. LBC Express is the leading local freight company, providing domestic and international freight services. Although it is familiar with the Philippine market and can provide the best transportation routes and assist with cross-border trade and customs clearance services, its coverage is limited and may not reach certain remote areas.
5. LGS (Lazada Global Shipping)
For cross-border sellers, Lazada mainly delivers goods through LGS, a logistics method. LGS aims to provide efficient and fast logistics solutions, and sellers can hand over their goods to LGS for transportation. The advantages of LGS include fast delivery, reduced logistics costs and strong order controllability. However, there are some things you need to pay attention to when using LGS, such as timely delivery, not merging orders for delivery, avoiding reusing waybill numbers and carefully checking delivery information.
In summary, there are various logistics methods on Lazada, and sellers should choose the most suitable logistics solution based on their own circumstances and needs. Whichever method you choose, ensure that orders are delivered to customers on time and reliably to enhance the shopping experience and increase customer satisfaction.
